Our Parish History
Our Lady of Guadalupe Founded in 1970
Monseigneur John A. Lunney was tasked with establishing a new parish in West Anchorage, which became the foundation for a thriving spiritual community. The original parish, now the Lunney Center, was built in 1976 and served as a cornerstone for local Catholics. Since then, the parish has grown into a vibrant, diverse community, welcoming families from various ethnic backgrounds and celebrating this diversity through events and programs that promote unity. In addition to spiritual growth, the parish emphasizes outreach and service, focusing on supporting those in need and promoting social justice—values instilled by Monseigneur Lunney. As we move forward, his legacy will continue to inspire us to nurture a community where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered in their faith.
Our Mission
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Roman Catholic parish of diverse cultures nourished by the Eucharist, guided by the Holy Spirit and inspired by our Patroness. We come together to pray, love, serve and evangelize through the Gospel of Life and social teachings of the Catholic Church.
Construction of the New Parish
In 2005, construction of the current church began, marking a key milestone in the community's spiritual journey. This project was made possible by the generous support of parishioners and donors who recognized the need for a new worship space for the growing congregation. After months of hard work, the church was inaugurated on December 12, 2005, celebrated with joy as a new chapter for the parish
